According to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, overweight people on low-carbohydrate and Mediterranean d

iets lost more weight and got greater cardiovascular benefits than people on a conventional low-fat diet (The Boston Globe, July 17, 2008). A nutritionist wishes to verify these results and follows 30 dieters on the low-carbohydrate and Mediterranean diets and 30 dieters on the low-fat diet. These data (measured in pounds) can be found on the text website, labeled Different Diets. Let Low-carb or Mediterranean and Low-fat diets represent populations 1 and 2, respectively. Use Table 2.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Here researcher claims that the mean weight loss for those on  low-carbohydrate or Mediterranean diets is greater than the mean  weight loss for those on a conventional low-fat diet

Set the null and alternative hypotheses to test the above claim as below.

H_0:\mu_1\leq\mu_2\\\\=H_0:\mu_1-\mu_2\leq 0 versus H_A:\mu_1 > \mu_2\\\\H_A:\mu_1 -\mu_2>0

b)

Assume that the variance of the two populations are equal.

Under the null hypothesis, the test statistics is defined as

t= \frac{\bar x_1 - \bar x_2}{s_p\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2}}}

where s_p=\sqrt{\frac{(n_1-1)s_1^2+(n_2-1)s_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2}}

Use the foll owing Excel instructions and conduct the above test.

Step1: Enter the datainto two columns of spreadsheet.

Step2: Select Data Analysis from Data ribbon.

Step3: Select t-test. Two-sample Assuming equal variances.

Step4: Input the data range for variable 1 and variable 2.

Step5: Enter 0 as the Hypothesized Mean Difference.

Step6: Click OK.

Thus, the resultant outout is as follows:

         

                                                       Low-carb                        Low-fat

Mean                                               9.773333333       6.283333333

Variance                                          3.197885057                    3.160747126

Observations                                  30                                      30

Pooled Variance                             3.179316092

Hypothesized Mean Difference     0

df                                                      58

t Stat                                                 7.580610844

P(T < = t) one-tail                              1.54916E - 10

t Critical one — tail                           1.671552762

P(T <2) two-tail                                  3.09831E - 10

t Critical two - tail                              2.001717484

1) From the above output, the test statistics is obtained as t =  7.5806

2) From the above output, the critical value for one-tailed testis  obtained as t_{crit}=1.672

Rejection rule:  Reject H_0 if t_{crit}>1.672

c)

At 5% level of significance, the calculated value of test statistics  is greater than the critical value.

Therefore, reject the null hypothesis.

Hence, the nutritionist conclude that overweight people on  low-carbohydrate or Mediterranean diets lost more weight than  people on a conventional low-fat diet.

365x + 125 = 250x + 175
maxonik [38]
First, set up the equation. 
365x + 125 = 250x + 175 

Second, combine like terms on the same side by subtracting 250x and 125 from both sides.

365x +125 = 250x + 175  
-250x  -125   -250x -125 
__________________
115x = 50

Third, divide both sides by 115 to solve for x.

115x = 50
----      ----
115     115 

Fourth, simplify. 

x=50/115=10/23 or 0.435

The solution of the equation is  x=\frac{11}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify an equation of x

  • Simplify each side of the equation
  • Collect x in side and the numerical terms in the other side
  • Find the value of x

∵ The equation is 2x + \frac{1-x}{4}=3

- Multiply all terms of the equation by 4 to cancel the denominator

 of the 2nd term in the left hand side

∵ The equation is 4(2x) +4 (\frac{1-x}{4})=4(3)

∴ 8x + (1 - x) = 12

∴ 8x + 1 - x = 12

- Add like terms

∴ (8x - x) + 1 = 12

∴ 7x + 1 = 12

- Subtract 1 from both sides

∴ 7x = 11

- Divide both sides by 7

∴ x=\frac{11}{7}

The solution of the equation is  x=\frac{11}{7}

Express the number 20000 as a single digit integer times a power of 10
PolarNik [594]
The answer is 2 x 10^4 or 2 to the power of 4 (4th power) where;
2  x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10
2 x 10 =20
20 x 10= 200
200 x 10 = 2000
2000 x 10 = 20 000

Expressing a number to a single digit integer times a power of 10 is also writing a number in scientific form,where the number is multiplied by 10 to nth "power". Scientific notation is also called standard index form whereby, too large or too big numbers.
In writing the scientific notation of a number it follows this form: m x 10^n ( m is multiplied to 10 to the power of n)  where, m, the coefficient, is the real number and n is the exponent integer.<span><span /></span>
